PAVEMENTS.
This Pavement has been thor
oughly tested in actual SER

the following points Of su-

1st Cheaper than stone blocks equally well
laid.
ID Durability; the company guarantees it
for period of years. t.e
3d. Almost noiseess under traffic.
4th. The cleanest pavement made
9TH. A perfect sanitary pavement. Being inn
pervious to water and filth, it cannot exhale in
fictitious gases.
9th. Easily and perfectly repaired when opened
to lay pipes, etc.
vehicles.
Sth. Being smoother, less power is required to
haul over it than any other pavement.

erty more than any other pavement
10Th 1t is therefore, all things considered, the
best and most economical pavement that can be
laid any street, whether the traffic is light or

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.

These columns have teemed with notices
of business enterprises TO locate i'll Wich-
tia. tits well TO note also that their very
existence and highest success is inseparably
connected with the moral influence and
safeguards which have for their fountain
head the Bible.
The civilization which rests on the Bible
offers the safest and best opportunities for
honorable and useful business ventures
An agency, therefore, which is devoted to
the great work Of promoting Bible instruc-
ton, especially with the children and
youth OF this land, bears a vital relation to
all business enterprises
The American Sunday School union is Il
national society located in Philadelphia,
nearly siXty-four years old, organized on
the same basis rs the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, with Hon. VIM. Strong,
a judge of the United States supreme
court, as president 1t sends out mission
aries, only in the United States, whose aim
Is to establish "A Sunday school III each
destitute community and bring all the
children and youth under Bible instruc-
ton. This society has included Kansas,
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah,
and Wyoming in what they
name the Rocky Mountain district,
and up to last spring was in charge Of DR..
c. Humble as superintendent His rcsig-
nation was followed by the appointment of
W. L. DETROIT, of Iowa, to succeed him as
superintendent, who established his head
quarters in Wichita.
1t is certainly safe to say that when we
view not only the territory embraced in the
district, but also the influences which are
to be set in motion and directed over the
immortal natures as we'll as the earthly
life of children, youth and adults therein,
no greater enterprise than this has yet Sc
lected Wichita rs its headquarters. There
are now six missionaries of this society at
work in Kanias, one of which is to give his
entire time to Sedgwick county in the in
terests of its Sunday schools, the society
being furnished by 1.-The citizens of this
county with the funds for his support. No
adequate estimate can be made of the i'm
portant bearing this work has upon the
future of this state and nation.

A NEW KILRANE.

Yesterday afternoon man staggered
into Gandolfo's and yelled out the startling
information that he was Jake kiirane.
champion OF the world. Joe did not hest
tate but made big wrinkle in his visitor $
pants and grabbed him by the collar and
started la wheelbarrow. The would-be
Kilrane was soon on the sidewalk bearing
an imprint. In loud voice he exclaimed,
II am Jake Kilrane, champion of the
world" No one disputed it and crowd col
lected. Making the assertion several times
in a loud voice was considerable amuse-
ment for the boys With hand up for EN-
phasis and saying: Il challenge Smith or
any other man, for | am Jake and
Sheriff Hays took hold of him and started
with him. He went along despite his de-
spite his desired reputation as puglllst,
and near the court house corner he was
given over TO policeman, who took MN
TO the cooler TO think over the matter. He
had on his person $50 and some valuables.
He refused to give his name.

DON'T LET THEM CROWD YOU.

These are times rife with female charms
no less than claims for woman's rights. A
friend of the EAGLE, the other day, met
four or five girls abreast, arm-in-arm, on
that elevated sidewalk on the west side.
They would neither break ranks nor give
the way. so he was compelled to jump
down four feet, landing in mud and water.
He wrote US a poetical description of his
dilema, which our readers will remember
Miss Donahue bridget comes TO his relief,
counseling him to stand by his rights, in
the following lines.-Ed. EAGLE.l
Dear Pat. I've been radin your sthory of
wrongs,
And my sympathies pulse to country
mans woe.
That a right of way surely to aich one
belongs
There's none to dispute but the English
you know"
Since society copies her follies and fashions
And borrows her aclat as we'll as its show,
You must curb what would Seem a most
natural passion,
For fra trade makes everything English
you know"
When boasting America steps from the
pavement
Then downtrodden Erin may stand in the
mud.
With the thoroughfare clear for the claim
of the favored,
And the right of way lost in the rush of
its crowd.
But hold your own, Pat, It's your right and
your blessing,
The country S not fra to the ladies alone,
You'll find when you come to the next
muddy crossing,
Tho English, quite English, they'll pass
one by one.
Yours, BRIDGET DONAHUE.

SEDG WICK IN THE LEAD.

Geo. w Walters stated Yesterday that
he had put into the State National bank
over $4,000 of the county's money
Concerning the apparent tightness Of
money, he said the tax collections would
not indicate a stringency, h in no other
year was there so much collected at this
date. He thought people were coming in
with the customary prcmptness for pay
ing, and OF course county officials were
clad Of the situation He did not believe
however, that any county in the state
could come forward with as good show
ing a. Scdglvick. From personal letters
he had information from mum Der OF the
leading counties, and some could not make
a showing of half that amount

he had been robbed of almost $40. In tell

The room was full of men and he eIbowed
his way through the crowd we'll up to the
auctioneer's stand. After standing there
a short tine, he made purchase and put

NOT WHAT HE EXPECTED.

Yesterday forenoon Pete Burris, the well
known auctioneer was somewhat surprised
to see large box in his store, addressed to
him with proper stamps of railroad and
express companies thereon. He naturally
thought that some one of his friends back
in the east had remembered him kindly
with a holiday present and proceeded to
open it. No sooner had he taken off d
board than q mean, shaggy, no-man's-dog
leap forth and rushed whining and
growing through the room to the street
Pete says that he is the victim of d practi-
cal joke put up by his friends.
